  I want to install a paypal-widget thing so people can donate. However I cannot find a way in which i can upload the widget i downloaded to make it active. The first step i was instructed on http://wordpress.org/plugins/paypal-donations/installation/ was to upload the file to wp-content/plugins but i was not able to find this….

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there,

  It is not possible to install plugins on WordPress.com, for security reasons. Plugins can only be installed on self-hosted WordPress blogs. If you are wondering how WordPress.com differs from WordPress.org, this support article explains the distinction:

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  However, you can still add a Paypal donate button with this support guide:
